Quote from the book

“It’s the year 2044, and real world has become the ugly place to place and we are out of oil famine,

poverty, disease and wars widespread”

Plot

Book starts out with the death of James Halliday, the creator of OASIS. Before his death he sent a

recorded message to every OASIS player, In that message he says you need 3 keys viz the Copper Key,

the Jade Key and the Crystal Key to open the respective gates, and when it is done, the person who

completes the challenge will get an Easter egg and complete control over the OASIS. The story revolves

around how Wade Watts and his friends get the Easter egg.

My Opinion

I love the book as It was thrilling with twists in every corner and a sense of danger lingering around. The

storyline is breathtaking with suitable articulation which mentions all the perils Wade and his friends

went through to get the Easter egg

thrilling My favorite part was where Wade walks and the rest of the OASIS members wage war against the bad

guys to open the final gate, because everyone united together against a common enemy

The book is fun and also scary where Wade Watts home was blown up resulting in his aunt’s death

because Wade did not team up with the bad guys

What I learnt from the book is that “United we stand, divided we fall” and one should save natural

resources and maintain peace across the globe.

Recommendation

I recommend this book for all people who like adventures and thrilling sci-fi books.
